It can't put the original file names back. So it's incompatible with the Nook software. (To the extent that I've looked at the Kindle software, it's similarly lame, so I suspect the same applies there; but I haven't looked at this particular issue.)

And still, on a day-to-day basis I'd have to have two copies of my entire library on my Windows box: one for Calibre and another for my Android devices to sync with. With no easy way of automatically keeping them in sync.

But it's okay. Calibre does what the people who wrote it intend for it to do, which just happens to be a poor match for most of my needs. There's lots of software out there like that. I'll happily use it for where it does meet my needs.
